Elderly Man Helping Young Man Fix His Tie In Random Act Of Kindness

It’s amazing how social media can take a random act of kindness and freeze it in time for all to see. There have been many touching moments highlighted by the Internet. One that recently occurred on a crowded train station in Atlanta was captured on camera by a passenger.

A young man was seated and struggling to tie his tie. An elderly woman noticed and asked if the youth knew how to tie it. When he said no, she pushed her husband over to help.

Redd Desmond Thomas wrote on Facebook, “The young guy sitting down was struggling with his tie. The woman in the red coat noticed, and asked ‘Do you know how to tie it properly? The young guy said ‘No ma’am.’ She taps her husband and says ‘Come to this side[her right side; he was standing on her life side] and teach this young man how to tie his tie.”

The husband patiently gave the younger man a step-by-step tutorial on how a tie is tied. He even had the young man repeat the steps to make sure he had figured it out. What a wonderful, kind gesture. And even though I don’t know why this young man was getting dressed up, I”m sure he appreciated the help from complete strangers.
